Try again and again, well there is only so much to patience one can have.
You can tell from this first line that I’m still having a hard time with the furnace. I got it to run again for about 30 seconds before it quit. Ok, this is what I did this time.

So I got up, to walk around… sounds like a really bad start to a kids book here doesn’t it. But it was the description of what lead me to the window. After typing and thinking for hours, ok only two and a half hours, my but started to go numb and I got up to stretch. While starring out the window I saw what looked like a clump of snow in the tree across the road, after a second look more careful look I saw that it was a hawk. So I grabbed the camera.

I said in the last post that I was working on the furnace in my work trailer. This is the beast. Of course right now I feel like a bit of an ass. For the last week I have been trying to find the settings for the electrodes. Then when I was asked for [...]

But instead I wanted to show you what I found on the side of the road,

I’m not a hundred but the house I live in is. And every year there is something that goes, well how we should say wrong. One has to expect it… But why does it always have to be in the winter? In the snowstorms?

I grew up on a farm, my grandparents raised chickens for food — both meat and eggs. I like fresh eggs the best not the mention how great they are for a yard or garden in eating pests and fertilizing. And I know from experience that they are no dirtier than any other animal if taken care of.

I’m sure that everyone, like me, is getting their acts together, now that we’re into the first week of the new year.
